I really am not sure about posting this and have been contemplating it for a while. I don't view my challenges as severe as many of the others that are posted here, but I really don't know where else to turn with what is bogging me down and leave me completely depressed. I am an Aspie. I am 41. I am...

This may seem like the simple answer, but in my over 40 years of feeling like you do, I take the simple approach. If I don't feel like interacting with a person I do the appropriate of the following: I tell them. I don't answer the phone. I don't respond to texts. I don't answer email. I don't go to...

That is the question I feel like asking a lot of NTs that attempt to "befriend" me. Their concept of friendship and mine is not compatible, and generally I don't find these people that interesting. However, they don't even seem to get it when I try to keep my distance from them. Are there any good w...

I was hoping to fit in a bit better here than I do most places. I have been lurking around WrongPlanet for a few weeks now. I am 41 years old and a diagnosed Aspie. I am incredibly gifted with intelligence and mental ability, while being completely crippled in social skills and intuition. I am not c...

Welcome.

Japan's culture and history are of great interest to me.

I am sure you could provide some interesting insights.

Again, welcome.

For me it was a simple matter of knowing what I have to deal with and what techniques are effective. If you aren't being hampered by your condition and your coping mechanisms are working, a diagnosis is probably irrelevant. If you are struggling to fit in and cope with your condition, then a diagnos...

I agree with using your real name. I decided a while ago that I am me, and regardless of what others may think of me or my opinions, it will not change who I am. I protect my sensitive information and privacy by being sensible about what I put online. If you are not terribly savvy about what you sho...

My psychologist does quite well and specializes in AS people. She works rather closely with my doctor to make sure my doctor understands my condition so the doctor can get the right medications for me. Psychologist or psychiatrist, the most important thing is finding one that really understands AS d...

Not really sure what to say at this point. I am 41 years old and diagnosed with Asperger's about 2 months ago. I have spent years trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I have suffered through the incorrect diagnosis of hyperactivity and anxiety disorders. Finally I was able to find some answer...
